Well, what started out as a few days off somehow turned into 3 months. Oh well. The cat passed away and it’s taken a while to teach the new one the ropes, but he’s ready so here we go again.

THIS IS TOP SECRET BUT;
THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR PAYMENT
From Dr. Dickson Edmond,
ATTENTION: BENEFICIARY
My name is Dr. Dickson Edmond; I am in charge of foreign payment allocation and compensation unit by Central Bank of Nigeria and other related banks; after the visit of our new President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to United States with President Barack H. Obama. He agreed to compensate all the people that has been scammed with the worth of $850,000.00USD each person and your name is among the list of those to be compensated as instruction by UNITED NATION.
Of the three men in the paragraph above, only the one with the unbelievable name isn’t after our money. Mind you, he’s not likely to be handing out $850,00 checks anytime soon either.
Then why do you send Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo gang instructing me to transfer your fund into this account below without an approved recommendation letter from you.
Based on the Wikipedia article, we suspect that Prof. Soludo isn’t after our money either, despite what our dear friend Dr. Edmond would have us believe.
All the money you have been paying has been consume by this group of people you build your trust on; thinking that they are working for you (NO). They are working for there own interest to divert this fund into this account presented by Mr. Jim Ovia of Zenith Bank; Prof.Charles Chukwuma Soludo and his group below:
We are starting to believe that our good friend Dr. Edmond may not be entirely truthful.
Rev. Lawrence Xxxxxxx, D.Th.
Independent Bankers Bank of Florida
Address: 615 CCCCCCCC Court,
City: xxxxxxxxx.
State: Florida
Zip Code: 32000
Country: U.S.A.
We suspect that the name above was as is usual, grabbed from a website somewhere at random, although after reading the second email he may be a victim of Dr Edmond. We changed the name obviously.
ACCOUNT ABA #: 063111596
NO Swift Code.
All the particulars of the owner of these account details has been given to me, which I have forwarded it to you as a proof, for you to confirm if you know him in person. And I want you to promise me that you will not reveal this secret to this very group of people; I want you to furnish me with this information below to enable me know that I’m dealing with the right person. Here is the information needed by you. (1).YOUR FULL NAME, (2). AGE (3). OCCUPATION (4). DIRECT TELEPHONE (5). EXPECTED AMOUNT BEFORE (6).YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS AND COPY OF YOUR I.D
Please I will be waiting to receive your urgent response and also call me with my direct number below very important.
God bless you.

Edmond did indeed send along the information. Which leads us to conclude that he successfully scammed Rev Lawrence X. The information came in a second email.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR PAYMENT
From Dr.Dickson Edmond,

ATTENTION:
Evelyn McGregor
Apparently Dr. Edmond doesn’t know Evelyn even though they are in the same business.
I write to inform you that after receiving your short message I did not wait to submit your report to the Compensation Unit Committee to inform them that you’re not dead since you where able to return back my e-mail. Because Prof.Charles Chukwuma Soludo the former Central Bank Governor and his gang claim that you are dead and that Rev. Llllllllllll R. X. is now your next of kin. That is the much reason why I decided to contact you to know if you will return my e-mail to prove them wrong that you are alive.
Apparently Dr. Edmond has done something on our behalf, we think.
The Compensation Unit committee has permitted me to send copy of this man who claims to be your next of kin to you so that you can verify if you know him in person and as well send to you the old news about Prof.Charles Chukwuma Soludo and his gang for you to know that you where not the only one been effected. Please I want you to keep this effort very confidential because we are working to get some of those people that scam you arrested and for this good reason you are subjected to send any email you receive from now in regard of your fund please very important.
Dr. Edmond is trying very hard to be our friend and savior. We wonder how much this friendship is going to cost us.
The Committee wants you to re-confirm your information so as to be sure that they are dealing with the right person and at the same time you alive since you where able to return back my e-mail sent to you. Based on this fact the Committee is going to start working on your approved payment and to make sure they compensate you for all you have passed through in the past. I will advice you to abide and take full instruction of the Committee sothat your approved fund will get to you legally.
So, things were well on their way, unfortunately we never heard from Dr. Edmond again.
God bless you and your family.

We hope that if you were in contact with Dr. Edmond during the past three months, you were not silly enough to attempt to retrieve your $850,000 from him.
This is clearly a FRAUD.
That said, we shall endeavor to continue to shed light on the fraudsters on a more regular basis as we have now ammasssed a backlog of some 450 invitations to wealth during our recess.
That is all.
